‘Scream 6’ Star Teases to See the Most Violent Version of Ghostface

JENNA Ortega reveals that the upcoming Scream 6 will feature the most aggressive and violent version of Ghostface yet.

Earlier this year, marking more than 25 years since the release of the original Scream, audiences were reunited with the horrifying Ghostface killer, who returned to torment the residents of Woodsboro once again. As the fifth installment in the franchise, Scream enjoyed enormous success in theatres despite the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The much-anticipated Scream 6 was confirmed shortly after.

After bringing back the three legacy stars of 1996’s Scream, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette, the sequel also welcomed some fresh blood to the beloved horror franchise, including Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Ortega. As Ghostface’s latest prey, the four characters survived the film’s runtime and are now set to reprise their roles in Scream 6. Ortega and Barrera’s characters took the lead in Scream, as sisters Tara and Sam Carpenter, with the latter having a familial link to another of the franchise’s original characters, Billy Loomis.

During her recent red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega was asked if there were any teases she could offer for Scream 6. The film has, naturally, been mainly kept under wraps thus far. The star remained understandably coy but offered an exciting tease about the level of gore and violence that audiences can expect in this upcoming installment.

Ortega teased that the film will see the “most aggressive and violent version” of the franchise’s iconic killer before sharing her excitement to begin shooting these more intense scenes.

Production on Scream 6 is set to officially kick off this month, with recent news confirming the exciting return of fan-favorite Scream 4 character, Kirby Reed, played by Hayden Panettiere. Cox will also reprise her role as Gale Weathers, although her survival within the bounds of Scream 6 is by no means guaranteed after Scream saw Arquette’s character Dewey Riley meet a grisly end in a brave moment of self-sacrifice. Many are hoping to also see Campbell’s return as the series’ original final girl Sidney Prescott. However, her involvement with Scream 6 is currently unconfirmed.

Given that the previous Scream films have built their reputation on being the gore-filled meta commentaries that they are, it’s interesting to hear that Scream 6 could be about to step it up a notch. The most recent film’s opening sequence saw Ortega’s character come face-to-face with the Ghostface killer and survive; however, with the Scream franchise now looking to raise the stakes higher than ever, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for Tara and whether she will live to see another sequel. For now, it might be time to revise the rules of survival as Scream 6 will officially hit theatres on March 31, 2023. (source: screenrant.com)
